ISA President to Speak at World Halal Food Council Meeting in Dubai, Highlighting US Role in Global Halal Industry

Cedar Rapids, Iowa – [Current Date] – Mr. Jalel Aossey, President of ISA, Inc., a founding member of the World Halal Food Council (WHFC), will be speaking at the organization’s annual general meeting held in Dubai, UAE on Sunday, February 19th. This year’s meeting holds immense significance as it marks the WHFC’s first in-person gathering since the pandemic and is expected to be the largest ever, attracting over 80 members from 33 organizations and 26 countries.

Restructuring the WHFC for a More Inclusive and Informed Halal Ecosystem:

The meeting’s central focus will be on restructuring the WHFC to enhance its global impact by:

• Driving Halal education and information sharing: The WHFC aims to become a leading resource for consumers, manufacturers, distributors, and trade partners worldwide, providing them with comprehensive and reliable information on Halal standards and practices.
• Facilitating international collaboration: The restructuring will emphasize fostering stronger collaboration among member organizations, promoting knowledge exchange, and harmonizing Halal certification practices across different regions.
• Highlighting the US role in the global Halal market: A key discussion point will be the strategic role the United States, as a net exporter of food products, can play in strengthening and diversifying the global Halal supply chain. ISA, with its extensive experience in the US Halal industry, is expected to contribute valuable insights to this crucial conversation.

ISA’s Continued Commitment to the Global Halal Landscape:

Beyond the WHFC meeting, ISA’s management team will also attend Gulfood 2023, one of the world’s largest annual food and beverage trade shows, taking place in Dubai. This participation reflects ISA’s ongoing commitment to:
